Let's start with the great and work our way down. First, the food is phenomenal, like really really good, I had an amazing dish, not even sure what it was called and a sweet naan bread both were to die for. My wife had the most creamy curry I have ever had and it was full of flavor. In the middle of the road side was the service, it wasn't bad, it wasn't great. The guy seemed bored at his job, but I get it we were there pretty late in the evening, no harm done. On the bad side is the decor. This place seriously needs a renovation. It feels very stereotypical, and also a little grungy. I would just recommend a spruce up to make the place feel like it wasn't a caricature of Indian culture Still, will definitely be back, I understand they do a weekday buffet and I would love to do that!

Absolutely delicious! Wonderful atmosphere, delightful service! I came to Gateway to India with my husband on a whim. We were looking for furniture but we also were hunting some good Indian food. The chai tea was spicy and delicious, the butter chicken was tender and delightful, the masala and biryani were divine! I'd definitely come back! Everything at this restaurant was cooked with a high level of skill and presentation was great!

Wow wow wow. I had never been to an Indian restaurant before (I've had Indian food, just never in a sit-down setting). The food was amazing and full of flavor! Our server was Samantha and she was so kind, patient, helpful, and amazing! Our group was all relatively new to Indian cuisine, so she guided us a little bit. I want to keep coming back here to try all the menu items! There is also a lunch buffet that I want to go to as well (which was recommended by the staff)! Also, the location is right in the middle of 6th Ave so it's a great place to grab dinner then go bar hopping right after!

This place was very good - it has a very much family-run feel to it. I think my brother and his wife go here a lot because the owner knew they were vegan and wanted to check when I ordered if I wanted mine vegan as well. (Which it was by default.) I think the prices are pretty reasonable and they have a good selection of Indian dishes. They do let you order by how spicy you want it and I went with 4 out of 5 which was actually a little spicy. They give you a good quantity of rice with your order, and I also ordered a side of garlic naan that was good. I like how they start with a complimentary cup of soup. I'd love to check out their buffet if I come back.
